I realized I have never done this. In an actual project, you would most likely use Express or some other framework, but I wanted to do this for learning purposes so you can see a bit of what goes on under the hood. This API can be improved (eg. creating a better router), so feel free to work on it and make a PR :) Hope you enjoy!
I agree, creators like you will ensure that people learn the basics before moving on to the top layer and forgetting what was underneath all of it. I always schedule a coding session for myself of creating a mini express type clone with 'http" module, but never got to it. Thanks for the incredible content! Take care!
How is ur health now sir. In last few years i learnt a lot about web programming from ur channel. Thanks a lot for your sincere efforts for all these years helping numerous newcomers and students. I really felt bad when i found that your health was in bad condition. Seeing you active again really made me happy. Once again thank u so much from the bottom of my heart.
I actually was contacted by a company yesterday that was looking for someone with Node.js server experience. Told them I've used Express and NestJS figuring they were being generic. Nope... they legitimately use raw Node.js for their backend. Not interested in making things more difficult for myself lol.
Completely agree. Frameworks purposely abstract a lot of the details, but for beginners, and in general, it's really important to understand what's going on under the hood. Hope you're well, Brad.
There are many videos and blogs with titles 'REST API using NODE' and each one them are using Express. I wanted to learn how can I do it using Node only and I got this...Great work💕❤
Already know all this but it's a good habit of mine to come back and watch tutos of things that i already know... sometimes you find yourself lreaning new things that you missed or forgot ! Thx Brad and happy to have you again !!!!
First of all, great video as always. A "quick" remark The View in MVC in the backend is not the "View - Presentation" of the results in your browser. View in MVC is the presentation of the Data to the outside world. In this case, the View is a Data-Mapper. You get data from the Database and create a "view" to send back. For example, you could create another View for a normal user (less data) and an admin (all data), or an authorized user (some data depending on authorization). Technically, not in this example, of course, The Model, should consist of a Service and a DAO (data access object). The controller gets the incoming data from the body and does validation of data and then "asks" the corresponding Service to do the task. The Service will reach out to different services (if needed, for example checking authorization, cache, external APIs, etc), prepare all the information, and then asks the DAO to get the data DAO is the data abstraction. For example, products could read data from JSON, XML, mongo, Postgres. DAO should be unified access. Let's say getProduct(id,'json'), if you want to define the source, but you could omit that. Just do getProduct(id), but hide which DB you are using. If you later want to change DB, you would just change the implementation of that function. A nice library doing that, which seems promising is prisma.io (currently only supporting SQL databases)
please do more projects with pure NodeJS , no framework. there is literally nothing online except express. frameworks will change from time to time. we
The most difficult part was to set the post data but certainly, all this makes you understand what's under the hood of a framework. Great tutorial, I enjoyed every minute.
Hey Brad, you are like the Ave Fenix , after 30 days of break. Now, the contents is very high level. I am still in the last sections of your Mer-Ecommerce course after 3 weeks studying 2 hours per days. It is awesome. I recommend it 100%. And now this one. Man, you have a special skill to write code. It is like poetry for those who love coding. No doubt. God Bless you.
I just learned about fetching API today and now you posted about REST API using Node.js only!!!! Thanks for always sharing Brad, I bought your new course the day it's started being sold though haven't started learning it yet since I believe I should focus more on my foundation before tackling all the trending framework.
I found that uuid() would occasionally create an id number that begins with a letter instead of a number. It helps to replace the '[0-9]' with '[a-z0-9]' in the three url.match conditionals in the server component
Not all heroes wear capes, @RusTatum. Thank you. Unless, of course, maybe you are wearing a cape? I was troubleshooting why some uuids were breaking the getById function. If I could pin your comment to the top to help others, I would. I was receiving the response from the server of "Route Not Found" for UUIDs like: c69c7182-4a6d-4b78-aa03-e0db92cfe371 Since this UUID started with a letter, everything broke.
With all due respect and props to your contributors, they did an excellent job, it is great to see you back! I hope you are doing well and feeling good! Pace yourself, we've all been there.
A few days ago I decided to start making a mini express clone for self challenge and learning purposes, and now I found this. Your tutorial is extremely helpful, thanks a lot!
@@Tim12x Потому что мне грусто от того, что такие элементарные вещи, как обработка POST запроса, объясняют только на нагроможденном Express, а про ванильную ноду дальше запуска сервера почти никто ничего не объясняет

This was very instructive and well done. Thank you for taking the time to put this together! Going in I knew no NodeJS at all. Still far from fluent but I am now comfortable with the basics and can easily build on what you've taught me. Thanks again!

@@TraversyMedia Lol! Still working on the Modern JS course, has been over 1 year. Now it acts as a recipe book. But it helped me alot when I was struggling with JS.
@@TraversyMedia Thanks Brad. You did all the hardwork to get things easy for us. That's why I could finish the course much quicker. Your way of implementing redux in that course was impressive to me as a beginner. Thank you for all the hardwork and support.
Thank you, great video. It took me forever to realize that my delete response body wasn't showing up because I used a 204 response code. I like the idea of using a 200 and being able to confirm the deletion.
I've just got into backend web development (I'm an extreme newbie) and I've been searching to hell and back for this specific topic to no avail. I did a lot of reading and didn't want to learn a new language like Ruby and then Rails so this is such a blessing I can't even begin to describe. Thank you.
There are many ways to do backend work, Node is not the be all and end all just because all the "cool kids" are using it these days, 8 years ago Ruby was the in thing and all the hipster programmers couldnt shut up about it. Don't follow fads, try out different languages and use which ever language you feel most comfortable with, and if you think this tech will get you the most money remember this is the tech industry and fads change very quickly.
@@BillClinton228 Yeah definitely. I'm not one to get sucked into trends and stuff. I actually started off with C/C++ believe it or not, and I'm not even from a Computer Software background, I do Electronics. I'm still extremely inferior in those languages too but since then I've already tried python, java, html/css (not programming but close enough) and javascript. I just thought it would be easier to use Node.js since I've done some work with Node before. Although I do have a hard time wrapping my head around the "async-await-sync" stuff. I was actually already starting to learn Ruby but....time
I followed through the entire course except for one thing. I used a regular array instead of a json file since I was using an old file from a previous tutorial. Because of this every time the server restarts all the changes made in the server got overridden and I had to start over again. Nice course, this really makes me appreciate Express.js.
As someone that prefers minimal code when possible, this is most appreciated! The pacing is excellent, the sequence of how you put this together is, as well. No wasted time. It looks like you just turned on screencast recording and ‘winged’ it, is that the case?
Brad please , is there any chance to teach us really "how to master the shopify theme's building and customization" , really there is definitly no good video with this topic at all , your way to explain new things is just perfect , especially when you code directly live ! your udemy courses also helped me a lot ! thank you for your phenomenal channel Brad !
One minor note: The url.match part should match the id as the uuid v4 generates it (as /[a-f0-9]{8}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{12}/ or maybe /[0-9a-f]+(-[0-9a-f]+)*/ for simplicity). You got lucky that the uuid v4 didn't generate any uuids starting with a-f as first character. Other than that really great stuff.
Instead of using uuidv4 you can find the highest id in the products array, and then you can increment it by one to get the new product id: const newProductId = parseInt(products.reduce((a, b) => a.id > b.id ? a : b).id) + 1

glad to see you back.
This is how people are supposed to learn node instead of directly jumping on express.
That's more or less what I've attemped in Deno. Never tried it on Node, though.
6:10 BIG WIN 2020 th-cam.com/video/MNNd2DZSdKs/w-d-xo.html
It does not really matter. Once you get to the point of knowing express pretty well, the jump to the node js http API would not be very hard.
No, I don't agree. What if you need to make it cors capable? Etc. Node is still providing a layer for you.
@@_nom_ When you learn either one you also learn development skills, which includes learning how to read and understand documentation.
I followed through the entire course except for one thing. I used a regular array instead of a json file since I was using an old file from a previous tutorial.

One minor note: The url.match part should match the id as the uuid v4 generates it (as /[a-f0-9]{8}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{4}-[a-f0-9]{12}/ or maybe /[0-9a-f]+(-[0-9a-f]+)*/ for simplicity). You got lucky that the uuid v4 didn't generate any uuids starting with a-f as first character.
Other than that really great stuff.
this makes more sense then express api!!
Instead of using uuidv4 you can find the highest id in the products array, and then you can increment it by one to get the new product id:
const newProductId = parseInt(products.reduce((a, b) => a.id > b.id ? a : b).id) + 1
